After her award-winning season, Martin was invited to train with the Crows AFLW side during the off-season and her work ethic stood out.

It wasn’t long before the 21-year-old was taken at Pick No. 51 in the 2018 draft.

Having already had a taste of what it was like to train with an elite side, Martin said she knew what areas of her game she needed to work on.

“Being so new to the game, I’ll mainly be working on the development side of things,” Martin said.

“I’m excited to see where I can go, I’m obviously working with some of the best coaches around, so it’s very exciting.

“Chelsea Randall is a big role model to look up to and [helped me out] early on when I was doing some train-on work with the Crows and Jess Sedunary, because she is from the Yorke Peninsula as well, she also had me under her wing a bit.”

It’s been a big few weeks for Martin, who has celebrated a number of milestones.

Before being drafted, she got engaged to her long-term boyfriend Karl and graduated from her teaching degree at the University of South Australia.
